boot the installed version, enter this key combo: Ctrl-Alt-F2do you get to a text login prompt?if so, login, and enter these commands:

First, sorry for delay in reply. I had plugged PCIe GPU and just got it working out of box. Since than, PC was off. Today, I decided to remove PCIe GPU and PC working with integrated one. Well, even after removing PCIe GPU, it still works, without any other changes made.

Now I have to resolve one more issue: It boots into native monitor resolution, 1920x1200, while maximum resolution suppoted by VIA GPU seems to be 1920x1080. I guest that due to that, picture on monitor is not displayed correctly (left part of picture is displayed at right, right part is at left and black strip in the middle).I wonder if this is bug somewhere, so it could be fixed for everyone, or if this standart behaviour and I will have to force supported resolution.

i told you, VIA is bad news.it's also been dead for 10 years; to my knowledge no more VIA gpus are manufactured, so the openchrome driver is only for a few people who still use that old hardware.i doubt you'll find anyone even remotely interested in actively developing this.if you search the web really hard, you might find some efforts have been made ~5 years back, and some beta drivers might actually perform slightly better. i know this because i had a crappy amilo laptop with a via chip back then.
